Spot O' Joy

It's 65 warm degrees here in Ohio. Here. In Ohio. In November.

Even though Fall leads to cold, yucky, sometimes unbearable weather, I still love Autumn. May sound so cliche, but I do. I love the changing of the leaves, breaking out the comfort food, wearing sweatshirts.

And days like today. Warm, sunny days that make me want to take in long, deep breaths and go for an even longer walk. Days like today are mini-miracles for me. It's a bright spot, full of promise in the midst of rain, wind, and the reminder that the bitter cold is on its way.

So, you'll have to excuse the short post. I'm off to enjoy this bright spot of a day with the even brighter spots in my life: my husband and children. I think we'll head out for that long, long walk.

Verse of the Day

Hey there!

I recognize that all my blessings come from my Heavenly Father. I want to be sure to give Him joyful praise for who He is.
On this journey with me:
The Cruise Director (16),
The Affectionate One (14) and Whirling Dervish (13). That's right, all teenagers. Chocolate, prayers and lots of coffee appreciated.

Remember:

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them, and these will continue till they have been resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. --Frederick Douglass

Men, whether great or small, are still but men, and men are dust. To trust in the many is folly, to rely upon the eminent few is madness; to depend upon the Lord alone is the only sanity.
